A New Neighborhood

At my house, the little worker bees are busy, busy, busy!They've been so busy that I had to build them houses to sleep in at night...just too busy to fly away...Here a peek at two of the new houses.It's a happy, happy neighborhood!These two are for two sisters. They are twins - a lot alike, a little different.Just like their houses!They wanted wonky, silly homes with lots of color, a little different but kinda alike -so that's what they got.Now all the other helpers are clamoring for their own place...I'll be working late into the night to get the neighborhood ready for them.After all, they are saving my rear end working so hard for me...

About Me

Creating art is like breathing to me. Everywhere I go, everything I do, everything I see becomes fodder for my artwork. It's just the way that I see, the way that I look at life.
In photos of me as a young child, I was always clutching a crumpled paper bag. Those bags were chock full of treasures- feathers, rocks, leaves and all sorts of ephemera.
As an adult, I do the same thing.
I am a collector of things, nature lover and creator of odd little works of art.
I draw. I paint. I love textiles and layers of texture. I'd love for you to follow, join or play along with me as I trip trap through this thing called life.
If I'm not elbow deep in paint or fiber, I'll be knee deep in water, kayaking with my husband.
